Located in Asphodel-Norwood Township, Peterborough County, our farm borders the Ouse River that flows into Rice Lake. It comprises a mixture of forest, pasture, wetlands and prime agricultural land with otonobee loam soil. We grow organic vegetables and legumes. The Farm sits on Treaty 20 Michi Saagiig territory and in the traditional territory of the Michi Saagiig and Chippewa Nations, collectively known as the Williams Treaties First Nations.
The fields at the farm have been untouched by modern conventional agriculture and have been used for hay and pasture over the last 100 years. Before settler colonization it would have been wetlands, hemlock, beech, white pine, white cedar and maple forests (with many other species of flora, fauna and fungi) as well as grasslands that may have been used and stewarded by indigenous people.
We are so grateful and thankful to the stewards of these lands who, for many millennia, helped rich soils develop and a bio-diverse ecosystem flourish, which we benefit from today. There are very few invasive species on the farm (other the overselves) and many rare and endanger species of flora and fauna.
